I'm in NEED of a good project![emoji1] Unfortunately, this winter weather is simply too cold to do anything outside of the house... that includes anything that needs to be fabricated in the garage.[emoji4]
I have a couple of things in progress, though. The hanging light fixture in my dining room is looking really outdated. So I'm making one. It does require a little cutting on the miter saw, but I can do a few cuts at a time, then go inside and hot glue the pieces on the new fixture. I won't freeze to death if I'm only out there for a few minutes at a time.
Then there's painting... Need to repaint my living room. Gonna take some effort because the ceiling is 14 feet high in places. I don't have scaffolding, so it will mean climbing a ladder over and over again, and it's a VERY large room. The good news is; no deadline, so I can take as long as I like. [emoji4]
Finally, I have a bigger technology project that sounds like more fun and less manual labor. [emoji1] I'm gonna split my large rack up into two smaller racks. Then I'm going to use my current DJ rack to replace the 24U server rack that holds my home servers. That means I'll need to replace a couple of my 3U servers with smaller servers, but I'll put larger disk drives in them. This project should take me a couple of months. It could cost me a few thousand dollars. I speced out the parts for a server and figured it will cost about $900 to build what I want. I haven't found any prebuilt servers for anywhere close to that, so it looks like building them is going to be my best choice.[emoji4] While I'm rebuilding my large rack system in two smaller racks, I'm also going to look into using a touch screen tablet or AIO computer in place of a controller. Not sure how that's gonna work out?[emoji4]
Lots to do... lots to think about... lots to shop for.[emoji1]
